Winslow amuses Browns

You never knew what Kellen Winslow was going to say when he was a relevant NFL player.

He's still finding time to amuse himself as he winds through the twilight as a second-string Jet.

Anticipating Sunday's game against the Browns, with whom he spent five years, he said, "Who's going to guard me over there? Nobody."

Who's going to care?

The No. 6 overall pick of the 2004 draft has caught 28 passes in the last two years. In his last six games, he has totaled 11 catches since returning from a four-game suspension (for using a banned substance).

No one can cover Winslow?

"He's always thought that," said Rob Chudzinski, who was Winslow's coordinator in college, his position coach with the 2004 Browns, and his coordinator again with the Browns in 2007 and '08.

Haden wants to play

Cornerback Joe Haden will try to give it a go Sunday. Haden missed the fourth quarter of the Chicago game with a hip pointer but returned to practice Friday and "looked good," Chudzinski said.

Jets QB Geno Smith leads the league in interceptions, with 21, and Haden doesn't want to miss out on a piece of the action.

Rookie Round 3 pick Leon McFadden will play a lot whether or not Haden does."He's definitely the hot corner," coordinator Ray Horton said, "because as a rookie they're going to come after you."

LeBron and Johnny Football

Defensive coordinator Ray Horton uses a LeBron James analogy to tell his players they can't wait for a superstar to save a fourth quarter,

"Some players would say, 'Well, I'm going to wait for LeBron,'" Horton said, "Some of the guys are going to wait for LeBron to go score whatever in the fourth quarter."

Horton gave safeties T.J. Ward and Tashaun Gipson a pass for the fourth-quarter collapse against Chicago.

"Tashaun and T.J played like they did, but the rest of the guys are accountable to do your job," he said.

It was a part of a long answer in which he threw some anonymous somebodies under the bus.

Extra points

Horton doesn't want to talk about a candidacy for one of the head coaching jobs expected to come open within two weeks."If I could, table that until the end of the year, out of respect," he said.

Guard John Greco will miss his second straight game with a knee issue. Jason Pinkston will replace him.Old nemesis Ed Reed is on the Jets' injury report, but is expected to face the Browns — for the22nd time. The ex-Raven has returned 11 interceptions for
